After tooth filling my upper teeth are slightly tilted plz advice?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I had my first crown installed over a tooth that had broken. I was not in pain, it was a tooth that had been filled years ago. The tooth is a bottom, left, two teeth back from the canine. In any event, I have developed a slight lisp since the installation and it appears that my upper teeth are tilted (with the right side being lower). I went back to the dentist, he said he sees nothing wrong but that he would redo the crown if I wanted. He also offered the explanation of perhaps that perhaps air is now channeling differently through my mouth due to the width of the crown being less??? Is thsi a common occurence?

A.
Not really, but as it is being… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Best option for tooth grinding problem

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi I have a tooth grinding problem which has cracked a bottom tooth. My dentist has repaired this twice with a small filling but it keeps coming off. I went to my practice last week (met a new dentist) who suggested having a veneer which was ‘really tough’ and would not come off. I was quoted £700. However, my previous dentist said a veneer would not hold and he wouldn’t sell me one, he suggested a night guard £400, but I am not convinced I ‘grind’ at night I think it is when I chew food. My dentist raised the height of a rear filling to stop me grinding and now I am having trouble chewing food. I therefore have three expensive options (veneer, night guard or constant fillings) and have no idea what to opt for. Can anyone help? Regards
